The Way the School Children Voted Would Suit Republicans.

The Republican has been supplied with a complete tabulated report of the voting in the Rensselaer school last Tuesday, when from the 7th grade on the scholars all voted on the state and county tickets,. If their votes could have counted it would have been a great help to the republicans, for the result on the state ticket vote was 119 republican tb 33 democratic, 2 prohibition and 10 mixed. In the Bth grade out of 32 votes there were only 3 democratic. The republicans were likewise victorious locally with the school ballot, the vote being as follows: Crumpacker 145; Peterson 40; Tues* burg 7. Brbwn 149; Guthrie 36. Perkins 148; Erwin 36; Morrow 7. Fell 141; Carr 37. Hammond 143- Beasley 38. Shirer 137; Hoover 44. Osborne 125; Yeoman 57. Wright 155; Fyfe 26. Lewis 142; Garriott 34. Pettet 121; Hershman 31. Drake 106; Stackhouse 45. The prohis were consistent and each nominee had 7 votes all through the county ticket. The election proved very interesting to the students and there were few spoiled ballots in. the entire school. Mrs. J. R. Right came down from Thayer this morning and Mr. Right will join her here this evening and they will remain over Sunday with their daughter, Mrs.. A. G. ‘Catt and husband. H. W. Eiplinger, Joe Long, Fred Hemphill and Gum Pefley were fishing on the Rankakee several days this week. They returned home today, but brought poor accounts of the fishing and hunting in that region. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Anderson, of Rugby, N. Dak., arrived today to visit her mother, Mrs. Amanda Morlan.and her brother, Chas. Morlan, and other relatives. Mr. Anderson is the publisher of the Rugby Tribune. Mrs. Anderson will remain here for some time, but he for only a few days. Mrs. Ada Overley states that her husband, Glenn Overley, has left her without means of supporting herself and child. They had had no recent trouble but she states that last Saturday hß"“drew his money for working on the railroad and sent her a note saying that ne r.ad gone away and left her for good.

J. E. Francis writes ,from Charleston, 111., to renew his subscription to ihe Republican, and says: “We enjoy the semi-weekly visits of the Republican very much. This section of Illinois has the best corn crop that was ever known according to the old farmers. They also raise broom corn. The farmers are very prosperous with land selling at $l5O to S2OO per acre and over.” W. Elvin Overton, who has worked for some years for the International Haryester Co., has just received another substantial boost, having been placed as block manager with headquarters at Rockford, to which place he orders his Republican sent. Elvin, like the other Overton boys,' keeps pushing up the ladder and making good with every promotion. The writer was in Delphi last night and witnessed the production by the Delphi dramatic company of a little farcial comedy entitled “Three Hats.” The play centers about an absent wife, a swell time at the club, the mixing of the hats of three strangely different characters and an effort to keep the wife from finding the husband out. Judge Wason, of Delphi, had the leading role and was supported by a very good cast. The play was given two nights to large audiences. A letter received from S. H. Holmes recently contains some items of interest about Jamestown, N. Dak. San moved there last spring but was not there long enough to vote and he was regretting that he was not back in Jasper county to vote for some of the good men nominated on the local ticket. He was so confident in the result, however, that he thought his single vote would not be missed. Well, as things turned out, his vote would not have changed the result but every little bit would have helped and we are glad to know that his heart was in the right place. He spoke particularly affectionately of L- P. Shirer, and the fact of Lew’s defeat will be bad news to him. He said there was quite a bit of excitement out there about the election, and that he was impatiently awaiting the news of the election from the “old home paper.” He wrote: “The Hoosiers are all enjoying good health, crops were short, but we got good prices and these is plenty of work at good wages and there is no need of any one starving or being idle. We have been plowing for next year’s crop and living in hopes that it will be a bumper one.” Sam was a former correspondent for the Republican from his old neighborhood in Jasper county.
